        Hello from Upstate NY, practicality on the Canadian border.

        Seems I’ve had a camera in my hand since my teen years. First real camera was purchased in 1986, a Canon AE-1 Program, still shoot that camera periodically today for nostalgia. I am mainly a hobbyist concerning photography but have shot several weddings for friends over the years. Have since sold off all my digital full frame equipment and use what suits my needs as a hobbyist.

        I shoot anything and everything, I don’t have any specific draw to any one style or theme (except a project I began in 2013), but 90% of my photography is black and white. Presently I mainly shoot with my Fujifilm X-T3 and an Olympus OMD EM-1 Mk III.

        Glad to be here and hope to learn and help.

              Good to have you here @retiredgrunt

              I also used to have an AE-1 back in the day and travelled around a lot of of Europe and Morocco with it. Unfortunately, it bit the dust in Morocco.

              Look forward to seeing some of your shots!
